I decided on the French Carmella, which he said was his best seller and a slice of Citron cake, which he said was his favorite. They both were amazing... the Citron cake practically melts in your mouth while sending you to heaven. Packed with subtle lemon flavors bursting on your palette. It was amazing!! I will definitely be back to try more of these authentic French pastries.

They don't have a menu, but the kind young man who served me didn't hesitate to describe all the baked goods they had. He even took a photo on his phone to show me. As a new Mom who is constantly tied and thinking of herself last this morning was a sweet reminder that there are good people in this world, like this young man at Mado. He was patient, kind, and had noticeable attention to detail which made for a really nice experience getting coffee this morning! Thank you!!!

Oh my goodness, this was the cutest little ice cream parlor!…read more I was visiting Charlotte for my birthday weekend, and we were staying right across the street at the Marriott, so of course we had to stop by for dessert after dinner--and they did not disappoint! The atmosphere was adorable, the perfect little spot for a sweet treat, and such a fun addition to our birthday weekend. If you're in Charlotte, definitely check them out! You won't be disappointed.

On June 27, while my family and I were on vacation in Ballantyne, we decided to stop by Tifa's for…read moregelato after dinner. It was our first time visiting Charlotte, and after seeing that the shop was open until 11:00 p.m., we figured it would be the perfect way to end the evening. We arrived just a few minutes before closing, but since we only planned to order a couple of scoops of gelato, we expected to be in and out quickly. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in. Rather than greeting us or welcoming us, the employee immediately said, "Hey guys, by the way, we close in two minutes." There was no hello or friendly interaction. As we ordered, one member of our party asked to sample a couple of flavors, and the employee seemed visibly inconvenienced. When I asked if they had caramel drizzle, her response was simply, "No," with no warmth or attempt to offer an alternative. I completely understand that arriving close to closing can be frustrating for employees, and we were mindful of the time. However, the doors were still open, the posted business hours indicated the shop was open until 11:00 p.m., and we were respectful customers who knew what we wanted and intended to order quickly. What was most disappointing wasn't that they were closing soon--it was how unwelcome we were made to feel. As first-time visitors to Charlotte and Ballantyne, this wasn't the hospitality we expected. Customer service matters just as much during the last few minutes of business as it does throughout the rest of the day. I hope this feedback is taken as an opportunity to remind staff that every customer deserves to feel welcomed, regardless of when they walk through the door during posted business hours.

The entire time while visiting, I was watched, and not in a "May I Help You" Manner! It was very strange as the entire time I shopped, the vibe felt off. It made me very anxious to say the least. I hated to write this as I did spend a ton of money there but maybe for starters, sensitivity training, should be implemented as to make it feel more inclusive to everyone, not just those of one race. I could truly tell the difference in attitudes with those who came in the store. Upon reading the reviews, I do see that another reviewer has a post similar to mine so it's not an anomaly. It's a cute store and has so many things I'd want to try, but I won't return and will spend my money elsewhere from here on out.

The place itself is cute inside with board games for kids to keep them entertained. The outside is cute inside pictures, but was less appealing in person. The play area was not as safe and rather grimey. The bathrooms could also use a heavy cleaning (and we were there rather early in the day on a Saturday). The pizza was a bit to be desired unfortunately. We came with friends after a t-ball game. They order slices and we order two pies. We knew they would get theirs first, but it was quickly clear they forgot all about our order because tables that came in after us got theirs first pies first. When we got ours they were burnt to a crisp on the bottom. They were also both so greasy that it's almost all you could taste, rather than the cheese or pepperoni. Would return for ice cream, and pass on the other food in the future.
